Chapter 1309: Sealed

"Fake, right————"

"So many elders signed for him; who is he?"

"The key is that the handwriting is wrong too. When elders sign, which one isn't a flying dragon and dancing phoenix? The more scribbled, the more arrogant, the more individualistic, the better. Signing it so neatly, is this for fear that others won't recognize it?"

"Can this be a name signed by an elder of my Profound Void Gate?"

The two directors shook their heads, but as they flipped through it, they felt something was wrong.

"Not right————not just elders? This is————" The two looked at each other, "The Sect Master also signed?"

True Person Brother Zhuge sighed, "Keep looking further back————"

The two flipped further back, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant; this time they truly gasped: "The Old Ancestor's name is also there?!!!"

"Such great audacity!!"

"Elders are one thing, but daring to impersonate the Sect Master's signature? Even daring to forge the Old Ancestor's signature? Too presumptuous! This brat's audacity is truly heaven-defying————"

True Person Brother Zhuge shook his head, "Look carefully again; this isn't just one sect's Old Ancestor."

"The Old Ancestors of the Profound Tai and Chong Xu Gates also signed————"

"Even in the front, there are quite a few Sect Masters and elders of the Profound Tai and Chong Xu Gates mixed in————"

"Hiss————" The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director frowned and said, "This is a Three-Gate Jade Introduction? This isn't a Profound Void Gate Jade Introduction————"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director sighed, "Are you busy to the point of confusion? The three gates merged, didn't they? More than a hundred years ago, when we graduated, at that time, each was still discussed separately. But about ten years ago, the Profound Void, Profound Tai, and Chong Xu gates merged together; now it is the number one major sect in Ganxue."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion managed the system and grading of aristocratic families and sects, so they were more attentive to these kinds of things.

"Oh————" The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director nodded, somewhat emotionally, "It's been a long time since I returned to the Profound Void Gate; I'm a bit rusty."

Sect cultivation, Foundation Establishment competitions, these were actually all things from 'childhood'.

They had graduated for many years, each busy with their own cultivation and pavilion affairs, seeking Golden Core, seeking Feather Transformation, seeking the position of director, laboring their hearts and spirits.

They were indeed a bit estranged from the previous sect affairs.

Not to mention that the Nine Prefectures of the cultivation world were too vast, and people and events were as numerous as the sea. The Seven Pavilions managed the affairs of the world, and they worked in the pavilions, each responsible for news from different prefectures. The affairs of the Gan Prefecture didn't fall under their jurisdiction either.

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "In that case, I am now also considered————a disciple of the number one major sect in Ganxue?!"

Back then, it was clearly difficult enough for him to want to join the Four Major Sects.

Now, in the blink of an eye, his sect background was actually one grade higher than the Four Major Sects?

The Profound Tai Gate and Chong Xu Gate were only considered 'friendly sects' back then; now they could truly be discussed as 'fellow disciples'?

The changes in the world and the changes in personnel were truly enough to make one happily confused.

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director rolled his eyes at him, "At least pay some attention to your own sect. I remember mentioning these things to you before."

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director waved his hand, "Too busy. You mention too many things; sometimes I subconsciously filter you out."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director's face turned black.

Then this Heavenly Pivot director frowned and pondered, "Then in that case, this brat can't be considered a complete outsider? He at least knows about the merger of the three sects, and even knows the names of the elders, the Sect Masters, and even the Old Ancestors of the three sects? Where did he find out? This isn't right————"

"Is————not quite right?"

"Then is there a possibility————that this Jade Introduction is real?"

The three were all stunned.

If this were real————then that would be a bit————

Terrifying————

The three were stunned for a long time and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't joke————"

"It's not like we haven't been sect disciples, haven't seen the world; could we not have this bit of common sense? Whose Jade Introduction could look like this?"

"Whose Jade Introduction could have so many signatures?"

"How many elder signatures are on your Jade Introduction?"

"Six. How about yours?"

"Seven."

The two directors looked at True Person Brother Zhuge.

True Person Brother Zhuge suddenly felt a bit unpleasant in his heart: "I don't have any————"

The two directors then nagged, "Back when you were cultivating, you were too lazy, skipping classes all day long; the elders didn't like you————"

"But your family background was good, and your talent was high. With the surname 'Brother Zhuge', no elder really dared to manage you."

"Only Old Mr. Xun wouldn't indulge you, training when he should, punishing when he should."

"But he, as an Old Ancestor and an instructor, was serious and rigorous, with many affairs, having to manage the overall situation of the sect and teach formation arts; where would he have the time to manage you every day? Many times, he could only hate that iron wouldn't become steel and let you slack off————"

"So it's right that he didn't give you a Jade Introduction."

"No one signed for you; it's not the fault of the sect elders at all."

"Furthermore, you are from the Brother Zhuge family; whether you have a Jade Introduction or not doesn't have much impact."

"Indeed————"

"Indeed."

"However————speaking of which, having clearly graduated but not even managing to get a Sect Jade Introduction, it is indeed a bit————"

"Indeed————"

True Person Brother Zhuge kept a straight face and tapped the table: "That's enough; I am a Feather Transformation now, a True Person; show some respect."

"Yes, True Person Brother Zhuge————"

"Excuse us————"

The two said with indifferent expressions.

True Person Brother Zhuge was at the Feather Transformation Realm and was a consultant for the Qin Tian Situ Jian.

They were at the peak of Golden Core and were directors of the Seven Pavilions.

Regardless of realm, family background, or position, there was quite a disparity.

However, when the three were enlightened, they were studying and cultivating together at the Profound Void Gate.

Many times, the younger one is, the more mindless one is, and the age where one understands nothing is when the friendship is most precious.

As the years grew and cultivation became higher, the people they met had high status and high realms, but with their own interests entangled and many schemes, there wasn't much sincerity left.

Moreover, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. When one truly cultivates to the end, fame and profit fade away, and family ties become thin. Being able to have one or two 'Dao friends' who don't distinguish between noble and lowly and can sit down and discuss the Dao with oneself is often the most rare and precious thing.

Although the three had different realms, based on their fellow disciple friendship, they treated each other as peers and didn't have many worldly rules.

In fact, many times, True Person Brother Zhuge was the one being disliked.

Because he was too idle.

Those who were directors were busy to the point of being scorched and rotten every day, and what they hated most was this kind of idler wandering everywhere.

"I just said————so many elder signatures, how could this Jade Introduction be real————"

"This isn't a Jade Introduction; it's clearly a roster of sect elders."

"Don't forget, not just elders, the Sect Master and Old Ancestor also have them; it's almost equivalent to a 'sect genealogy'."

"Too outrageous————"

"Yeah————"

As the three chatted, not knowing what they thought of, they suddenly fell silent again.

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director was indifferent for a long time and said slowly: "It seems————it's still a bit not quite right————"

A sect genealogy is not something an ordinary person can get their hands on.

If one wanted to forge it, it would be even less something an ordinary person could forge.

And the person who could forge this kind of 'list' could absolutely not be an ordinary person.

The key is that the signatures of those Sect Masters and Old Ancestors on it reveal an elusive charm, a bit————

Not quite like they are fake.

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director asked: "Who is this Jade Introduction for? Is there a name?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director searched painstakingly for a long time among the long string of names.

Originally, in a Sect Jade Introduction, the disciple's name is the most conspicuous.

But in Mo Hua's Jade Introduction, there were too many names of elders, Sect Masters, and Old Ancestors, dense and packed, and this disciple's name was squeezed into a small corner, so the Heavenly Power Pavilion director flipped for a long time before finding those two words in the small corner: "————Mo Hua?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director frowned.

True Person Brother Zhuge thought for a moment, but couldn't remember at all. He was a lazy person, letting everything go with the wind, not paying attention to anything, so he asked: "Have you heard of this name?"

The two directors thought for a moment and both shook their heads.

Being a Seven Pavilion director is a very tiring and cumbersome job, with high pressure and easy anxiety.

In ten years, the documents, names, and events that have passed through their minds, big and small, important people and unimportant people, are far more than a million.

"Seems————no impression————"

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "Whoever has the authority, go check it."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director said: "I have important matters; the war is tight, and there are a pile of official documents to deal with————"

True Person Brother Zhuge pointed at the long string of elder, Sect Master, and Old Ancestor names on the Jade Introduction and asked: "Can it be more important than this?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director sighed, knowing that he would have to stay up late to review the documents tonight, scratched his hair, took out his director token, walked through a secret door into the Privy Repository on the side, checked a circle, and after returning, his expression was indescribably strange.

"Didn't find it?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director nodded.

True Person Brother Zhuge was slightly startled, "What's the situation?"

"No documents. There is no one in the Kyushu cultivator registry that matches, and he is not in the disciple roster submitted by the Profound Void Gate to the Heavenly Power Pavilion————"

True Person Brother Zhuge frowned, "Is this name fake?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director said, "According to convention, it is very likely————"

True Person Brother Zhuge's gaze flashed: "————Sealed?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director nodded.

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "You checked with authority?"

"Used it." The Heavenly Power Pavilion director said, "It doesn't work."

"The director's authority doesn't work either?"

"Hmm, at least with my director's authority, I can't find him————I estimate that at least, it would have to be the authority of a Supervisor or higher to possibly find him."

True Person Brother Zhuge's expression changed slightly, "Supervisor or higher, only then possibly findable, then the person who sealed the documents——"

"——is a Pavilion Elder?"

A Pavilion Elder sealing the documents of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director frowned, "Possible."

True Person Brother Zhuge's mind stirred, "If the person can't be found, then go check the events, check the sect competition. In the relevant records, there will definitely be some clues."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director nodded.

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director also stood up and said: "I will go with you to check."

"Good."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion manages the power division and grading of aristocratic families and sects, while the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion manages formation arts and formation masters.

The two have different powers and responsibilities, and some information within them is not shared, so checking with two authorities together will have fewer omissions.

True Person Brother Zhuge didn't go; he was a consultant, an idle position of refined nobility, not managing internal affairs, and originally didn't have much authority.

So the two directors 'neglected their proper jobs', threw their official duties aside, and went to check on Mo Hua.

After checking for a long time, the two walked out of the Privy Repository with confused expressions.

"Can't find it."

"Also sealed."

True Person Brother Zhuge was startled, very uncomprehending, "The records of the sect competition will also be sealed?"

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director nodded.

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "There should be some things left behind————"

"Not a bit," the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director shook his head and sighed, "Sealed completely clean————"

"Why?"

"Because ten years ago, a major event happened in Ganxue————"

True Person Brother Zhuge's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood in his heart.

The Wilderness Feng Tianxue Sacrifice.

The impact of this matter was extremely bad. In order to prevent panic among the people and the worsening of public opinion, the Dao Court simply cut it all off, sealing all relevant documents.

Before and after the Wilderness Feng Tianxue Sacrifice, the documents of all people and events were also sealed into the 'Cold Palace' along with it, and ordinary people couldn't find them at all.

"Actually sealed so thoroughly————"

"This is the convention of the Dao Court; it's not unreasonable."

"But in this way, many things have become muddled accounts."

"This brat named 'Mo Hua' is also equivalent to a 'black household'————"

"I still feel something is wrong. You say, is it because the Desolate Feng Tianxue Sacrifice occurred that all records related to the Sect Grand Competition were sealed? Or is it because this Mo Hua's identity is suspicious, and because of his involvement, these records of the Sect Grand Competition were sealed—"

"Not so mysterious, right————"

True Person Brother Zhuge asked: "You two, as directors, haven't heard a bit of wind?"

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director shook his head and sighed: "Ten years ago, we weren't directors yet————speaking of which, you think being a director is easy to be?"

"This position, don't look at the status not being high, busy and tiring, but it is a position of 'real power' in the Seven Pavilions; it's not easy to sit on."

The Heavenly Power Pavilion director also nodded and said: "Truly speaking, if it weren't for the Great Wilderness rebellion and the Dao Court's early war losses, with the front line urgently needing manpower, we wouldn't have been willing to eat this bitterness, and we wouldn't have had this opportunity. Otherwise, the position of director, with so many nobles staring at it, wouldn't have been our turn at all."

"And before becoming a director, many things actually didn't pass through our hands."

True Person Brother Zhuge pondered, "Why don't you ask the previous directors?"

The two thought for a moment, but still felt it was inappropriate, "In the Seven Pavilions, there are many people and mixed ears, and the water is very deep. If we ask, it will easily cause trouble if it falls into the ears of those with intentions."

"That's right, the Seven Pavilions are too complicated."

"As things stand, there is only one way————"

True Person Brother Zhuge sighed, "Write a letter and go back to ask the Old Ancestor?"

"Yes, that's the only way."

"After all, on this Jade Introduction, there is the Old Ancestor's signature—at least possibly————"

"We check it ourselves, it's easy to cause side issues, so it's better to just write a letter and ask the sect Old Ancestor."

The two directors both looked at True Person Brother Zhuge.

True Person Brother Zhuge didn't want to speak.

He had thought of it long ago, but he just didn't want to do it.

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion director said: "We are directors and have already used our authority to check, but unfortunately didn't find anything. Now, this matter of writing to the Old Ancestor can only be done by you."

"Not bad," the Heavenly Power Pavilion director also said, "You are Feather Transformation, you are a True Person, your realm is high, your status is high, and you are the most familiar with Old Mr. Xun; this kind of thing can only be done by you."

True Person Brother Zhuge was still very unwilling.

But at this point, he had no other choice. He had to write this letter to Old Mr. Xun.

"Fine————"

True Person Brother Zhuge, who was somewhat idle, like a student who had been on vacation but still had to report his homework to the teacher, walked away sighing.

After returning to the temporary cave dwelling he was arranged in, True Person Brother Zhuge sat at the table without a proper posture, racked his brains, thought of the wording, and wrote a letter to Old Mr. Xun.

After writing, True Person Brother Zhuge hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and hardened his heart, finally sending the letter out.

The Ganxue Prefecture is very far from the Great Wilderness, and the terrain is complex.

Under normal circumstances, letters take a long time to transmit, not to mention that this is during wartime, and communication is even more difficult.

But True Person Brother Zhuge is Feather Transformation, a consultant for the Qin Tian Situ Jian, and a True Person of the Brother Zhuge family. If he really wants to transmit a letter, whether using the Feather Transformation method, the beacon fire of the Qin Tian Situ Jian, or the Bagua inheritance of the Brother Zhuge family, it is not difficult.

The difficulty only lies in whether he wants to or not.

In short, after various inner struggles, True Person Brother Zhuge finally transmitted the letter to the Ganxue Prefecture through the Brother Zhuge family's own channels.

Profound Void Gate.

The current number one major sect in Ganxue.

The gate is simple, majestic, and towering, with disciples like clouds, and a magnificent atmosphere.

In the Elder Pavilion, Old Mr. Xun, who was looking gloomy and worried, also received True Person Brother Zhuge's letter.

Old Mr. Xun was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that the lazy brat from the Brother Zhuge family back then would actually write him a letter, as if there was a sense of incongruity like a lazy rooster suddenly crowing.

Old Mr. Xun wanted to know what would be written on the letter, so he looked at the jade slip, and as he looked, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and his expression changed completely.

"Mo Hua————"

"This child is fine!"

Old Mr. Xun's heart was agitated, and he let out a long sigh of relief for a moment.

The heavenly secrets of the Great Wilderness are obscured, the wilderness is filled with murderous intent, and that wisp of strange thought is like a maggot on a tarsal bone; the depth of the conspiracy is chilling.

Old Master Xun has been terrified and anxious.

Some days ago, he suddenly couldn't sleep all night, always feeling that there were people, many people, and many great powers, all wanting to kill Mo Hua.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Mo Hua failing to form his Golden Core, his Golden Core shattering, his meridians destroyed, and his face covered in blood.

Whenever Old Master Xun thought of this, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and he couldn't rest all night.

But the Great Wilderness is too far away, and he couldn't reach it; the Heavenly Secret Two-Instrument Lock was also sealed, and Old Master Xun still had to take care of the sect, so he was powerless to divide himself.

At this moment, this letter revealed Mo Hua's whereabouts, knowing that Mo Hua had only become a "prisoner" and was not in danger of his life, which truly made Old Master Xun feel relieved.

Old Master Xun pondered slightly and immediately picked out a few sect elders and inner-gate Feather Transformation experts in his heart, wanting to let these people go to the Great Wilderness.

His original intention was to let Mo Hua go out and gain experience on his own.

But from that obscure cause and effect, Old Master Xun could more or less guess that Mo Hua had indeed gained "experience" in the Great Wilderness, it was just that the things he gained experience in might be a little bit "rebellious."

If this continues, what else he can gain experience in, only heaven knows—

He can't let him mess around anymore.

Moreover, the current Great Wilderness is a place of true right and wrong, with life and death on the line.

Too many people have reached their hands in, and the water is murky and black.

This is no longer gaining experience; if the situation continues to develop like this, I'm afraid—

Old Master Xun took a deep breath.

"Regardless of anything else, first let someone pick this child up, at least keep him away from this place of right and wrong in the Great Wilderness—"

Old Master Xun began to "pick soldiers and generals," but halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, if he sends people from the Grand Void Gate in, isn't it the same as reaching his own hand in and stirring the water?

In this way, once the grass is beaten and the snake is startled, it might not be possible to truly "fish" Mo Hua out of the Great Wilderness, and it is very likely to harm him instead—

Old Master Xun changed his mind and thought again, who in the current Great Wilderness has a connection with the Grand Void Gate and can act on his behalf to fish Mo Hua out.

But after thinking about it, in this situation, those old things—none of them can be trusted.

Old Master Xun's brows were tightly furrowed.

The more anxious he is, the less he can be impatient; he still has to take it slowly and cannot make too big a move, otherwise, if the black swamp is stirred, Mo Hua will be trapped inside and more easily drowned.

"Protect the person first—"

"The Brother Zhuge family—"

After careful consideration, Old Master Xun wrote a long paragraph of instructions, but after writing it, he felt it was inappropriate.

Things like words easily leave behind cause and effect, especially things written by an old ancestor like him.

Old Master Xun thought for a while, then erased all the words and simply drew a picture in the jade slip.

After drawing, Old Master Xun remembered that he couldn't favor one over the other.

So he wrote a long string of urging and teaching words for True Person Brother Zhuge, and together with this picture, passed it into True Person Brother Zhuge's hands.
